shooter/platformer. it was cool

Platformers are a dieing genre, but the Conduit sure as hell is not a platformer

If Prince of Persia, Uncharted and inFamous can be considered as platformers, I don't see why The Conduit or any other game can't be.

What are the main focuses of The Conduit?

Just because there's a jump button doesn't make it a platformer.

That's basically my point.

So how do Uncharted and inFamous qualify as platofrmer? Or in a later post, Patapon?

If we can just re-define the game into other genre, I'm gonna call Super Mokey Ball a platformer and Super Mario Galaxy a third person adventure game.

I actually don't mind calling Uncharted a platformer because a large amount of that game is focused on platforming.  I would rather personally just call it action/adventure but I don't mind people lumping that into a platformer.

As for inFamous, I've never played it but I don't know if I would count open world movement as a platformer.
